(GRANTED UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF '1 ACT OF ETARCE 3, 1921, 41 STAT. L, 1313.)

To all whom it may concern I Be it known that I, ERNEST WVINTBR, residing at Cannstatt, near Stuttgart, Germany, Dennerstrasse 100, have invented cera tain new and useful Improvements in Pictures and Patterns Behind Which a Light- Reflecting Metallic Sheet is Laid, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to artistic pictures, to and comprises a light reflectin or mirrorlike reflector used as a backing %or a picture printed on celluloid foil.

The picture is printed in transparent colors on the polished side of such foil and this polished, printed side is'laid against the I reflector. matt.

Such a combination produces pictures of .a new and peculiar effect. The color tones are 20 soft and diffused and the effect is very pleasing. w The printing should be done with a small number of colors in order not to obtain too many superposed layers of ink, as'in color 2 lithograp y.

I have found that good results will be obtained with collotype, collotype in color, en-

The opposite side of the foil is graving, and with half-tone screen printing in one to four colors.

Very beautiful, soft nuances and shades are obtained with colored half-tone prints, the colors fully retaining their luminous power and transparency.

The figure of the drawing shows a cross section of the device.

flecting sheet meta sheet silver, silver pa-. er or mirror foil, and metallic foils, as for.

instance tin foil in good planished quality.

The reflector and rint 0 may be held together by frames, y mounting them on polished steel backing, by making them in passe-partout, or otherwise pasting them togather, 8:0.

The celluloid films may be matted on their outer exposed face (1 in any manner.

I claim- 1. A picture comprising a reflecting, backin and a celluloid film having a picture side adjacent said'backing and a matt outer surface.

2. A picture comprising in' combination a reflecting metallic foil backing, a celluloid film against said backing and having apolished and a matt surface, and a picture prlnted in transparent colors on the polished side of said film and adjacent said backing, the matt surface of said film being exposed to view.

- printed in transparent colors 'on its polish-ed In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

ERNEST WINTER.
